Except it has other meanings, not necessarily the Supreme Being. From the link you shared:

Rāma is a Vedic Sanskrit word with two contextual meanings. In one context, as found in Atharva Veda, as stated by Monier Monier-Williams, it means "dark, dark-colored, black" and is related to the term ratri, which means night. In another context in other Vedic texts, the word means "pleasing, delightful, charming, beautiful, lovely"

And neither of these meanings are relevant to the project, nor have these meanings been widespread for at least last 2000 years.
It’s also the concatenation of two, extremely common syllables, so purely by chance one is ought to hit them. Like, where I’m from its the name of a margarine brand - is it also misappropriating?
Why do they have to be widespread?
